Eating Times:- Meals and snacks should be eaten at regular intervals. The child needs to eat at regular times in order to maintain stable blood glucose levels. A missed meal or delayed meal or snacks could lead to lead to hypoglycaemia.

Physical Activity:- Physical activity should be an important part of child's day. Preparations are needed because all forms of physical activity, such as swimming, walking, running, playing cricket, use up glucose. If the child does not eat enough before starting an activity, their blood glucose level will fall too low and they will experience hypoglycaemia.

Before activity:- It is important for the child to have an extra snack like (slice of toast or sandwich or thepla or khakra or plain biscuit or any fruit). If the activity is after lunch, it may be easier for child to have slightly larger meal.

During activity: These should be a sugary drink or sweet nearly in case the child's blood glucose level drops too low, which could lead to hypo.

After activity: The child may need to eat some starchy food, such as sandwich or thepla but this will depend on timing of activity and level of exercise taken.
